Artificial Intelligence-Driven Autonomous Firefighting Robot using Arduino and Bluetooth
Abstract
This research presents the design and development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven autonomous firefighting robot using Arduino and Bluetooth technologies. The robot is equipped with three infrared flame sensors, an MQ-2 gas sensor, and a water pump, enabling it to detect and extinguish fires independently. The AI algorithm, implemented on the Arduino microcontroller, allows the robot to navigate through a fire scene, identify the fire source, and deploy extinguishing agents. The robot's sensor array detects flames in multiple directions (forward, left, and right) and gas leaks, triggering alerts and autonomous response. Bluetooth communication allows for remote monitoring and control, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Experimental results demonstrate the robot's effectiveness in detecting and extinguishing fires rapidly and effectively, showcasing its potential for enhancing fire safety in various environments. This low-cost prototype combines sensor-based autonomy with wireless remote control/monitoring, offering a promising solution for reducing fire-related risks and promoting smart fire safety applications.
